Protects you against UV radiation with UPF 80 which makes them eight times more effective than a light T-shirt

The good news is that our Bauerfeind Sports Compression Sleeves for arm, upper leg, and lower leg provide you with a UPF of 80 – even in wet or stretched condition. The effectiveness of this sun protection clothing has been tested by the International Test Association for Applied Protection against UV Radiation meeting the requirements of UV Standard 801.

I ordered these a while back for myself and my wife and have been using them regularly for the past 3 weeks. These calf compression sleeves are GREAT! I run a lot and these are great for preventing or lessoning any calf pain that you're accustomed to from during long distances. My wife also gets pretty bad shin splints and these have seemed to have reduced the frequency of her getting any pain from shin splints. Also I've found them REALLY comfortable just to wear around the house - it's like getting some constant, relieving pressure on your lower legs. Also, these sleeves breathe extremely well. Even when you're sweating a lot they don't make your legs feel clammy like you would assume, which was surprising to me

These do the trick

About two weeks ago my Bauerfeind lower calf compressions arrived and I have tried them on a couple of times since. So far, so good. I couldn’t be happier about the fit and look (although, Bauerfeind could add some more colors to choose from). The size description is pretty accurate and reliable. I opted for the black, which works well with every work-out outfit. I initially decided to get these compression because over the past months I have been having some trouble with the blood circulation in my calves. As a result, my feet often felt pretty swollen and even slightly numb after a long run. A friend recommended Bauerfeind to me and the couple of times I have worn the compressions I did NOT suffer from the usual symptoms. As my friend did, I would also recommend these to anyone looking for good quality sport compressions.

Can definitely feel the compression

Pros: During my run, I felt the compression without the feeling of being "too" constraint. They certainly came in handy for my recovery in my muscular calve areas.
The cons: (more on my end) I measured my length and based on the measurements, I was supposed to order the "short" size. Well I positioned the sleeves strategically over the main calve muscles so the sleeves could be effective on my calve region. In several photos it seems as though I have biscuits popping out of the sleeves. Highly suggest the "long" and not "short" sports compression sleeves.
